Transportation Plan
CHAPTER EIGHT Transportation Plan Broadly defined, the transportation plan is a plan for the movement of people and goods throughout the township. More specifically, it documents township roadway classifications and traffic volumes, while providing recommendations on mitigating congestion and safety problems. It also examines alternative transportation modes such as public transit and pedestrian and bicycle pathways. With the degree to which the recommendations contained in this chapter are implemented, it would not only allow for the continued efficient flow of people and goods, but will also help to maintain and enhance the quality of life currently enjoyed in the township. This chapter is comprised of three main sections: roadways, public transit, and pedestrian/bicycle path- ways. Each section contains its own specific set of recommendations. Roadways The township’s original comprehensive plan of 1965 presents a bold, optimistic outlook on the future of Whitemarsh’s road network. Traffic congestion would be eliminated through the construction of new roads and bridges; expressways are envisioned bisecting the township and a bridge would provide a direct connec- tion to the Schuylkill Expressway. Hazardous intersections would be eliminated through improvements and realignments. An ambitious document, it is a reflection of a time when the answer to current woes was new construction that was bigger and therefore better. While the merits of new expressways and wider roads are still a debatable point, for the township it is moot. Despite the fact that this plan contained many valid ideas, most of the new roadway opportunities have been lost through subsequent development and a greater appre- ciation for older structures makes road widenings difficult.

A Brief History of the Liberty Bell Trolley
The first railroad in Whitpain Township was the Stony Creek Railroad, built in the 1870s. Stations (from north to south) were at Acorn, Belfry (Skippack Pike) and Custer (Township Line Road). Both freight and passengers were carried, but the steam-hauled trains were infrequent and tickets expensive. Whitpain’s first trolley line: the Lansdale & Norristown Electric Railway Company, incorporated in 1900. After two years of construction, trolley service began in 1902, running along Morris Road and Dekalb Pike. 1 After reorganization in 1904, the trolley line was known as the Montgomery Traction Company. Proud crewmen are about to depart the line’s Lansdale terminus on Susquehanna Avenue at Main Street. Here transfers were made to Lehigh Valley Transit trolleys to Hatfield and Allentown, Ambler and Chestnut Hill. At its south end in Norristown, the MTCo. connected with Schuylkill Valley Traction trolleys. (Later, SVT would be absorbed by Reading Transit & Light Co., with trolleys to Manayunk, Conshohocken, Pottstown, and Boyertown.) This tinted postcard shows an MTCo. trolley southbound on Dekalb Street at Airy Street. 2 MTCo. trolleys served Zieber’s Park on Garfield Avenue, later known as West Point Park. The trolley car barn still stands today on West Point Pike in Upper Gwynedd Township. (MTCo’s brick power generating station on nearby Cottage Avenue was torn down in 2016.) 3 Lehigh Valley Transit trolleys served Chestnut Hill Philadelphia, Allentown, and points in between. Near Whitpain, the original Liberty Bell Route ran on Bethlehem Pike, Sumneytown Pike, Allentown Road. By 1910 the frequent, low-cost service was popular. However, through service was slow: three hours.

Trips Awheel: Where to Go and How to Get There
Trips Awheel: Where to Go and How to Get There Philadelphia Inquirer May 16, 1897, p. 36 Cycle Route No. 5 (1897-1898 series) Main Outlets of Philadelphia Familiar as are the main outlets of our city to the older members of our cycling legion, they are a source of daily inquiries from the thousands of new recruits that join our ranks every season. For their benefit especially the accompanying map is presented, not without a feeling of regret that certain improvements in some of our outlets fondly hoped for by this date are still apparently as far from realization as they were last year – witness, for instance, the slough of despond between North Broad street and Nicetown lane. In addition to the map, the following directory of the principal highways, arranged in alphabetical order for more convenient reference, will, it is hoped, be found useful. The number affixed to the name of a road in the alphabetical list is intended as a help to locate the road on the map, the figures starting from the Lancaster pike (as a mark of deference to the pioneer of all turnpikes in this country) and making thence the round of the city from west to northwest, to northeast, to southeast, to southwest and to west again. All these, and many of their offshoots not mentioned in this limited bird’s-eye view, will be gone over in detailed in our forthcoming Trips Awheel.

Box 37127 Washington, D.C. 20013-7127 HISTORIC AMERICAN ENGINEERING RECORD y, SKIPPACK STONE ARCH BRIDGE |- HAER NO. PA-311 Location: Germantown Pike over Skippack Creek, Evansburg State Park, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. Significance: The 1792 stone-arch Skippack Bridge is one of the oldest bridges in continuous use in the Unites States and possibly the oldest to have retained its original dimensions. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Description: Skippack Creek is a shallow, slow-moving stream which flows south past the Germantown Pike. Trees cover on the gentle slopes to either side of the site. A recently restored mill stands north of the bridge on the western bank, and its tailrace rejoins the creek near the western piers. Eight semi-circular arches, each approximately 20' at the spring line, carry Skippack Bridge across the creek. The bridge is 2 67' long and 24' wide, with the top of the coping approximately 21' feet above the waterline. Both approaches slope down towards the center of the bridge, though the roadway itself is flat. The arches and spandrels are recessed six inches from the parapet and wing walls. The bridge contains several types of masonry: Large stones make up the piers. The cut sandstone voussoirs are the only part of the original arches still visible; over the past two decades sections of the rubble stone intrados have been strengthened with injections of gunnite, and in 1992 all remaining exposed sections were covered.
